To clarify the doubt on inverted sentence as mentioned earlier

----" Among a group of things " one thing is asked making it singular-----This is an inverted subject-verb sentence. Reverse it: "Anger was among the emotions on display..."

i have checked this question from 1000 SC #107 .... Here in non-underlined part as mentioned below "were" is used with "high cost of land" ....I feel it is the same case as mentioned earlier.Correct me if i m missing smthing
